Vickie, thanks for sharing your blog.

 

It seems like the first few links take you to your home page with no verbiage but the last several links do take you to the correct section of your blog. Just thought you might want to know.

 

Either way, thank you again and I look forward to reading your blog.

oh thank you so much Keith for letting me know, I recently had to change the name of my blog and I thought I would save time by just cutting and pasting name instead of entire link, obviously it didn't work. I have corrected the links so it should work now.

Vickie, kudos on your blog! The writing and pictures are so well done. We hope to take that trip soon--loved reading your daily blow-by-blow. And, of course, it's wonderful you had such a good time!

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

And PS, I note you are diehard a Princess cruiser trying Oasis. You will love it! We've cruised on all the lines, except Disney, and find a lot to like about each, but Princess, Royal and Celeb are our favs, and Oasis is just something in a class all by itself that you have to experience once. Enjoy!

thank you for your kind words. I started the blog a long time ago for my friends and family. And since I get so much great advice from many on these boards I am happy to share my knowledge.

 

Yes I am going to try Oasis - I really want to see the ship. I will be doing a blog from that trip too so stay tuned.

Hi Vickie-

Loved your blog, have cut and pasted several of your excursions in my file for our 49 day upcoming SA trip on the Grand this next January. In your blog of Santiago with your tour guide Thomas Poussard, you did not have the link for his company/him. I have contacted and arranged tours with several of the companies you used, and would really like to do a similar tour to yours for Santiago. Can you please advise who you used? You can email me at tgbarbie at san dot rr com. Thanks!

I just came across this thread and your blog. Thanks so much! As a fellow Canuck, the first blog post has helped me quite a bit in our planning for a December cruise out of Rio.
